"What's fair or unfair, just be happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Melsaya poked her head with her finger and said: "You, you are too honest, like my father said, just grab whatever you like, there is nothing in this world that money and power cannot be exchanged, well, except for great artists like Master Teza." ”

Jenny sighed and shook her head slowly, although she and Melsaya's childhood friends were similar interests in many ways, there were some things that she believed in.

"I'll go back first." Melshaya didn't say much, waving goodbye.

Jenny nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You just said that you might see him?" That...... Can you bring me a letter to him? ”

Melsaya raised her hand and touched her face, and said with a smile: "Miss Ben doesn't know how to be a messenger, what do you want to say, just say it yourself in the future, weren't you very brave before?" ”

After saying that, he blinked and turned to leave.

……

……

The town of Yard, Lane Castle.

A carriage galloped into the castle, the doors opened, and Dudian got out of the carriage and followed the maid into the castle.

It was dusk, and smoke was rising behind Lane Castle as dinner was being prepared.

In the hall of the castle, the servants stood respectfully on both sides, and although the Lane family had declined, the etiquette of eating was still maintained. In the spacious dining room at the back of the hall, the children and grandsons of the old patriarch of Fulin all arrived early, sitting in the dining room and chatting with each other.

Hughton was talking to his sister when he suddenly saw Du Dian coming outside, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to greet him, saying, "Hello, Mr. Du." ”

Du Dian shook his hand briefly and said, "It's a coincidence that I came. ”

Huton laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Du hasn't eaten yet, how about eating together?" ”

Du Dian didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "Then it's time to add an extra pair of chopsticks." ”

"Chopsticks?" Hugh was slightly stunned, but didn't ask more, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing his puzzled reaction after a pause, Dudian knew that he had said it well, touched his nose, entered the dining room, and smelled the old patriarch of Fulin in the office on the second floor through his sense of smell, while Barton, Cruane, and Joseph were also waiting in the dining room, sitting in a corner, and no one paid attention.

Seeing Du Dian who entered the restaurant, the three of them were greatly surprised and immediately greeted him.

Du Dian smiled and nodded to the three of them.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a slight white beard next to him asked Hughton, "Who is this?" ”

Hughton hurriedly introduced: "This is a hunter hired by Grandpa. ”

"Hunter?" The middle-aged man was stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and soon a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Hello hello, I am the second son of Fulin Lane, Jike." ”

Du Dian shook it lightly and said, "Hello." ”

Seeing this, the other people sitting in the restaurant also stepped forward to greet Du Dian, while the third-generation Hughton stood beside him with his hands down, full of curiosity, and wanted to come forward to say hello, but taking into account the identity and etiquette, he just nodded and called Mr. Du.

"Mr. Du is so young, which consortium did he belong to before?" The previous Jike said with a smile.

"The Mellon consortium."

"Mellon?" Ji Ke came to his senses, not surprised, and said with a smile: "My father recently founded a new consortium called the New World Foundation, and it is really gratifying to be able to attract a young and promising hunter like you." ”

Du Dian smiled slightly, although he said it with joy on his face, but when the old man Fulin founded the consortium, most of these children tried their best to stop them, fortunately, although Fulin was old, he could still suppress them.

After a while, the old patriarch of Fulin came to the restaurant, and after seeing Du Dian from a distance, he was not surprised, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Mr. Du came really early. ”

"The early hunters have birds to eat." Dudian stood up and said with a smile.

The old patriarch of Fulin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and with the support of the middle-aged maid, he came to the patriarch's position and sat down, and said to everyone: "Take a seat, Mr. Du, you sit next to me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ke and everyone else were shocked, they didn't expect the old patriarch to value Du Dian so much.

Du Dian nodded slightly and sat down as he said.

And it happened to be Jike who was sitting in his place, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, but he still squeezed out a smile and moved back a position.

"Let's eat." The old patriarch of Fulin instructed the middle-aged maid next to him.

The middle-aged maid nodded, turned around to greet a maid, and passed on.

After a while, the servants served the dishes one after another.

The old patriarch of Fulin smiled at Du Di'an: "I don't know that Mr. Du is coming over today, the dinner is a little simple, please use it slowly." ”

"Save and get rich." Dudian replied with a smile.

The lights were shining, and the dinner table looked happy, and after eating more than halfway, the old patriarch of Fulin wiped his mouth with a hand towel and said: "Mr. Du, our Lane family has newly established a new consortium, tomorrow night is the opening ceremony of the consortium, many old acquaintances of the nobles will come to congratulate, by the way, look at the situation of our consortium, you are the only hunter of our consortium at present, I hope you can attend then." ”

Dudian nodded, "No problem." ”

"Grandpa, can I go too?" Hughton at the end of the table shouted.

The old patriarch of Fulin glanced up at him and said, "You don't have enough seniority, put your mind on your studies, when you get the knight's honorary certificate, it can be regarded as adding glory to our family." ”

Hughton's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly.

After dinner, the old patriarch of Fulin beckoned Du Dian into the study to discuss the matter.

"The nobles who will be here tomorrow are all nobles in a similar situation as the Ryan family, and they are in decline." After the old patriarch of Fulin and the middle-aged maid left, he said to Du Dian straight to the point: "Some of them came to participate because of the courtesy, and some wanted to see the situation of our consortium and wanted to join in to share the benefits, anyway, this is the first time our consortium has appeared, I hope to have a good impression." ”

Du Dian said: "It's not just them who are paying attention to this gathering, your entire aristocratic circle should be looking sideways." ”

"That's right." The old patriarch of Fulin nodded deeply, seeing that Du Dian was able to understand it at one point, he felt that it was effortless, and at the same time secretly looked at the young man twice, and said: "There were many declining nobles who wanted to create a consortium, attract other declining nobles to join in, and bring together the industrial chains of various families, but this kind of declining aristocracy gathered together, after all, it was a plate of loose sand, and it was crushed by other consortiums a little, and it was fragmented. ”

"Over time, very few declining nobles are willing to create a consortium, after all, the cost of applying for a consortium is not low. Now that our Ryan family is desperate, the other families should have investigated very clearly, no matter what, since I have taken this path, I hope to have a good start, so I plan to declare to the outside world that you are a mid-level hunter, in this way, I can improve the foundation of our consortium a little. ”

Du Dian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"In the future, we are likely to be suppressed by the Mellon consortium." The old patriarch of Fulin sighed and said, "It's all up to you then, our Lane family can't withstand the toss, and we can't stop this giant sword." ”

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "When our funds accumulate enough to be able to lease the passage outside the wall, our wealth will roll faster than a snowball." ”

The old patriarch of Fulin smiled slightly bitterly, although he didn't know where Du Dian got this kind of confidence that was stronger than that of a high-level hunter, but he was powerless to refute anything, and now he could only live with prayers.

"Behind some big nobles, is there an alchemist to support you?" Dudian asked suddenly.

The old patriarch of Fulin was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, an alchemy master has created much more wealth than a hunter. ”

Dudian nodded slightly, and when he saw the various alchemy materials in the square of the Dark Holy See, he had a guess, after all, these rare materials were difficult to obtain by private individuals alone, and they could only rely on the various mineral areas controlled by the nobles.
